RESTeasy and Returning to a JSP page with a model

Question

Is there an easy, not using spring, way to have RESTeasy return a jsp or html page with a model? I want to do something similar to the spring ModelAndView where I have a request to say /contacts/loomer and have it return a mocked up object in a jsp template. All of the examples I see are for JSON/XML. I know in Jersey you can use the viewable, but I need to use only RESTeasy stuff.

Thanks!

I want something like this (but without the spring modelandview):

   @POST
   @PUT
   @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
   @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
   public ModelAndView saveContactForm(@Form Contact contact)
         throws URISyntaxException
   {
      service.save(contact);
      return viewAll();
   }

Answer 1

Okay, I figured it out for anyone who is interested. It was actually fairly trivial once I found an example.

@GET
@Path("{eventid}")
@Produces("text/html")
public void getEvent(@Context HttpServletResponse response,
        @Context HttpServletRequest request,
        @PathParam("eventid") Long eventid) throws ServletException,
        IOException {

    EventDao eventdao = DaoFactory.getEventDao();
    Event event = eventdao.find(eventid);

    request.setAttribute("event", event);
    request.getRequestDispatcher("eventView.jsp").forward(request, response);

    }

Using org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-html version 3.0.6.Final you can directly access the HttpServletRequest and inject your own attributes before directing output to a RESTEasy View.

@GET
@Path("{eventid}")
@Produces("text/html")
public View getEvent(@Context HttpServletResponse response,
                     @Context HttpServletRequest request,
                     @PathParam("eventid") Long eventid){

    EventDao eventdao = DaoFactory.getEventDao();
    Event event = eventdao.find(eventid);

    request.setAttribute("event", event);
    return new View("eventView.jsp");
}

This emulates some behavior of the Htmleasy plugin without having to rewire your web.xml.
